With the recent one-two punch of Project Cars 2 and Forza Motorsport 7 the premium racing titles continue with the long-awaited release of Gran Turismo Sport for PlayStation 4. And ahead of the October 18 launch racing fans will be able go hands-on in a four-day demo next week featuring both sim and arcade racing, plus a pretty cool sounding photo mode.

The demo will include:

Sport mode: Drivers can prove just how fast they are by putting down their fastest lap time before an all-out battle with up to 24 cars against drivers with similar abilities.

Campaign mode: Players can improve their driving skills across numerous challenges, missions and circuit experiences. As you complete various trial and Daily Workouts, you will be awarded with numerous vehicle unlocks, in-game currency and Experience Points – furthering your Driver Profile and personal garage.

Arcade mode: Jump in and drive! Choose from a wide range of vehicle classes on three pre-selected circuit configurations with different terrains. Whether you want to go for high-speed oval racing on Northern Isle, hone your technical skills on Dragon Trail or drift sideways through the corners in rally.

Scapes: This is not your traditional photo mode as each photo location contains all the light energy information of that scene, enabling you to place your personalised car in hundreds of real world locations with true HDR workflow and physics-based rendering tech.

With Scapes in particular sounding very cool. The demo will be available via PlayStation Store from October 9 8pm (AEDT) through to October 13 12am (AEDT), with pre-loading available this weekend.
